Hello list,
Would appreciate any link or reference for what CMS has determined a functional limb length (specifically transfemoral) if such information exists. I have been told that CMS SSI applicants are reviewed for coverage and an above the knee amputation residual limb length under 8 is considered nonfunctional.
Much appreciated,
